Jordan Iat had to fight to integrate the escape from the 20th stage of Tour de France ! Not because he missed the legs, on the contrary, but well because her presence in the breakaway of the day was not to the taste of some of her flight companions. Indeed, the climber of the Total energy pointed to 11th place in the general classification before this penultimate stage and had the firm intention to enter the top 10, which the team of Ben O’Connor (Jayco-Alula), who defended his position, obviously did not want.

“Velasco deserves a yellow card”
“Simone Velasco insulted me with all the names. I do not speak Italian but I understand very well what he told me. We talk a lot about yellow carton in cycling today, he deserved one. He told me words that should not be made. Everyone has the right to do what they want. I want to be in escape, it's my right. he declares at the microphone ofEurosport. But if the other runners would have preferred not to see him accompany them, some have also transformed into lawyers: “Tim Wellens told him that he didn't have to talk to me like that. The other runners understood, I told them that if we all passed relays it was going to crack and it worked.” The main thing is that this strategy worked, even if it was not approved by Simon Velascoand Breton is now 10th in the general classification, the day before the arrival of this Tour de France.
